This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), a specific type of talk therapy, to see if it helps teenagers and young adults with depression. Researchers will measure how much your mood and symptoms improve during treatment. The study will track about 60 young people over four years to understand whether this therapy approach really works.
Depression is common in teenagers, but not all treatments work equally well for everyone. This trial will help doctors understand whether this particular type of talk therapy is truly helpful for young people with depression, so they can better choose which treatments to offer patients.

You would receive interpersonal psychotherapy from a trained therapist at the child and adolescent psychiatric clinic. Before you start, during treatment, and after therapy ends, you'll complete questionnaires about your mood and symptoms. You'll also fill out brief check-ins before each session so researchers can track how you're doing. The whole process happens over several months as part of your regular psychiatric care.
